McLaren held its first on-track run in a filming day in Bahrain, with Haas also having one alongside Williams.
Having not done any running since its launch, McLaren finally had one filming day with the MCL60 at Bahrain International Circuit just few days from the lone F1 pre-season testing. Both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri got their first taste as the team interestingly blurred the floor sections in the video below as if to hide something.
McLaren were not alone in having a track outing with Haas having a run too, this time with Nico Hulkenberg who missed out on the Silverstone run where Kevin Magnussen drove the VF-23. It is expected for Aston Martin to have a filming run on Wednesday.
